Kerala home cooking strongly defaults to well-done (Lutu) — both because of cultural preference and because the local grass-fed cow beef toughens at higher temperatures more rapidly than USDA grain-fed. The iconic Beef Ularthiyathu is cooked to deep mahogany. Modern Kochi steakhouses use international doneness terms; traditional home cooking is uniformly well-done.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
